Miles Reucroft

A selection of some memories in the yellow 2007/08 away jersey, none more enjoyable than the sight of Jonny Howson's innocent young face after he scored the winner at Carlisle.

Red sponsor on a yellow away shirt. A famous goal. Wembley misery? Maybe we'll leave the last part out this time round.

Anxious? Us? Never!
Are Leeds falling apart again, or do we need to trust the process? Miles Reucroft walks the tightrope.
Emily Tartanella's sketched Leeds United players celebrating our glorious 7-0 win against Cardiff. Just some dudes being happy about how good they are at football. It's LUFC's answer to the Sistine Chapel ceiling, if you ask us.

It's Pep's fault
If Daniel Farke’s Leeds have made football feel a little too transactional, writes Miles Reucroft, maybe we’re blaming the wrong people.

It wasn’t just anybody scoring goals for the ages, writes Miles Reucroft. It was a Leeds United player.

Did Marcelo Bielsa ruin football for us, asks Miles Reucroft?

They know we know they lie
Football fans have become so used to feeling deceived, Miles Reucroft no longer knows what’s real anymore.

Or neither
Our last promotion needed an alchemist. That, says Miles Reucroft, doesn’t underrate what Daniel Farke has done.

Something stirring
Giuseppe Bellusci played 61 times for Leeds. That left an impression on Miles Reucroft.

Miles Reucroft on how so many players this season have made us think twice.

Pipe down
Amid the loud clamour for minutes of silence, Miles Reucroft asks, for whom should we be quiet?

"Is he still playing for Leeds?"
The way footballers toy with our affections, writes Miles Reucroft, is hard to explain. Especially to a five year old.

Why I Orta
A director of football is a good idea, writes Miles Reucroft, but who directs the director?

Victor Orta should have taken advice on finding managers from Massimo Cellino, says Miles Reucroft.
